MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— Thomas Dooley believes that he did enough for him to get a new contract as the head coach of the Philippine Azkals football team.<\/p>\n

“We had 11 records in those four years. We qualified for the Asian Cup. We had the highest ranking ever,” Dooley told the Philippine News Agency (PNA) on Monday following a pocket press conference at the UCC Cafe Terrace in Taguig City.<\/p>\n

He even said that if the PFF changes its direction, it will catch him off guard.<\/p>\n

“It would be a huge surprise that they wouldn’t give me an offer for another two years or so,” Dooley said.<\/p>\n

The former US national team player then admitted that the PFF has yet to reach out to him.<\/p>\n

“I haven’t talked to anybody yet,” Dooley said.<\/p>\n

The Azkals mentor, however, remains optimistic that he will stay with the Philippine national team.<\/p>\n

“Hopefully, they will get back to me and we can talk about it,” Dooley added.<\/p>\n

For the meantime, Dooley will keynote speaking chores as he is set to speak to teen footballers and youth team coaches in “Anything is Possible” — an event organized by the Teen Azkals Foundation to be held on Friday at the AIM Conference Center in Makati City.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
